Available after suspension
Janelt is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest after serving a one-match suspension during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Hull City.
Analysis: Janelt returns to contention after missing Brentford's encounter against Hull following his dismissal for two yellow cards against Liverpool. The German midfielder had been a regular presence in Keith Andrews' midfield before his suspension, and his return provides an additional option in the center of the pitch. Mathias Jensen and Mamadou Sangare offered alternatives during his absence, while Yehor Yarmoliuk was also sidelined following a separate red card against Liverpool. Janelt could immediately compete for a place in the starting XI against Nottingham Forest now that his suspension has been served.
Sees red after double booking
Janelt was sent off for a second yellow card during Saturday's Premier League match against Liverpool, ruling him out of next Saturday's trip to Hull.
Analysis: Janelt will serve a one-match ban after collecting two bookings, leaving Brentford short in central midfield for the trip to Hull on Oct. 24. His dismissal came in the same match as Yehor Yarmoliuk's straight red, which means coach Keith Andrews loses both of the midfielders who started together at Aston Villa last week. Mikkel Damsgaard's return from his ankle problem offers a solution, and he could partner Mamadou Sangare in the middle against Hull.
